Studio-quality podcast and video recording, editing, and publishing in your browser
Every participant records locally on their own device, capturing up to 4K video and 48kHz uncompressed audio in separate tracks that stay sharp regardless of connection quality.
Edit video by editing the transcript — search, cut, copy, and paste words and the footage updates. AI then removes filler words and silences or fixes eye contact in one click.
Turn a finished session into promotional assets: short clips optimized for each platform, thumbnails, headlines, show notes, transcripts, and translations or dubs in over 30 languages.
Broadcast in full HD 1080p to unlimited destinations simultaneously, or host webinars with registration, branded emails, Q&A, live call-ins, polls, and HubSpot lead capture.

Free AI-generated placeholder avatars, fetched with a single URL.
Get a face image by pointing at a URL such as api.samplefaces.com/face?width=150 — no key, no signup, no rate paperwork.
Append width and height query parameters to get exactly the dimensions you need, with 1024x1024 as the default.
Use the n parameter with increasing numbers to pull a series of distinct faces for user lists, comment feeds or team grids.
Images are delivered in the efficient webp format through Cloudflare's CDN, so placeholders appear instantly.
